If I know kickstarter, there'll be five companies offering something similar soon, but in the meantime I'm sure Woodland Scenics (the model railroad folks) provide an effective substitute.benvoliothefirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949358086099909322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-31187268927296226312017-10-02T17:57:37.769+01:002017-10-02T17:57:37.769+01:00Good to hear you can actually get them back.

I then got into fantasy properly.<br /><br />This post inspired me to contact the person that currently has them (also unused) and buy them back.<br /><br />Great idea painting the banner as a carving. I will likely do that too, when I get them back. cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-27102535400833778702017-09-29T09:19:39.254+01:002017-09-29T09:19:39.254+01:00Thank you kindly.

It's a little shortcuty, but I think painting it as a carving is the easiest way of getting around that part of the model quickly, it's such a massive section that some deft painting sleight of hand is required to make the banner section look well. Plus I'd need to paint on an actual banner.<br /><br />It's pretty much welded together, though I do have another one in my Battlemasters set that is assembled and disassembled as required.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-88080559700405927352017-09-28T10:03:30.986+01:002017-09-28T10:03:30.986+01:00That's a great job!

That's a simple way of tackling that part of the piece.<br /><br />Have glued this together? There's something very pleasing about constantly pulling it apart and reassembling it.

I will get to it eventually.
